What does a healthcare manager need to know wk 2Paul AT Powrie
This document provides an overview of key concepts for healthcare managers, including planning, controlling, organizing, directing, decision making, accounting, nonprofit organizations, and information systems. It discusses the types of healthcare organizations and why information is important for monitoring performance. Examples of clinical, financial, and medical record information systems are given. Workflow processes for verifying patient information and examples of reports are also outlined.
An aging population combined with the decline in the number of primary care providers places unique demands on the provision of health care. Adult-gerontology nurse practitioners provide primary care to adults and the elderly, serve in administrative roles in health care organizations, and evaluate and implement health care policy and programs.
Topics:
What’s the difference between the adult-gerontology nurse practitioner and the family nurse practitioner role?
What should I consider when choosing my nurse practitioner career path?
Focus on the adult-gerontology nurse practitioner specialization
Master’s level vs. doctoral level nursing degrees: Which is right for me?
What is a "super specialization?"
The document discusses the role of advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs) and how their role may expand and help address healthcare access issues. It notes a predicted physician shortage and the increasing number of ARNPs. However, some states still have regulatory barriers around ARNP prescribing, diagnosing and practice autonomy that hinder their ability to practice to the full extent of their education. The consensus model for ARNP regulation aims to standardize requirements nationally to facilitate mobility across state lines. The Future of Nursing report also recommends removing barriers to nursing practice and enhancing nurses' leadership roles to help redesign the healthcare system.
An associate's degree takes less time to complete than a bachelor's degree, allowing students to enter the workforce sooner. With an associate's degree, one can pursue well-paying careers in high-demand fields like nursing, respiratory therapy, or IT. For example, an associate's in nursing can allow one to become a registered nurse earning over $60,000 annually. Healthcare and IT are growing industries that offer opportunities with an associate's degree. Overall, an associate's provides a quicker boost to employment prospects and a foundation for career growth compared to a bachelor's.
Nursing has long been considered a bastion of women for a variety of reasons. But the dynamics have changed over the last few years with more and more men entering into this profession.
The article “Upcoming Trends in the Nursing Industry” talks about the growing demand for nurses and the consequent trends that the nursing industry is going through. The article also briefs about a few preferred nursing degree programs which can help you kick start a career in nursing.
‘Healthcare Education and Careers ‘ discusses about different healthcare related degree programs like nursing, healthcare administration, respiratory therapy, surgical technology and the allied careers that these degree programs enable you for.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts

In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Jobs Available with an Associate’s Degree
1. Jobs Available with an Associate’s Degree
If you thought that the only way to improve your financial situation was to spend four years in college,
think again.
While it’s true that a bachelor’s degree is the accepted credential for a lot of white-collar jobs out there
and therefore, a gateway to the possibility of a better life, equally true is the fact that not everybody is
meant to spend four years in school. Academics may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and the thought of
four years of intense coursework could send shivers down the spines of many.
Perhaps the associate’s degree program was designed with those people in mind. Much more career-
focused than bachelor’s degrees, most associate’s degree programs can be completed in two years, and
qualify graduates for direct entry into specific vocations.
Whether you’re unsure of which path to tread after high school; looking to make a fresh start in a new
career; or just want to get through college more quickly and without a huge debt to pay off, an associate’s
degree from a community college or a four-year institution can help you achieve your goals.
If you’re sold on the idea of a convenient, economical college program, here’s a review of some of the
jobs that can be pursued with an associate’s degree.
1. Nursing: An associate’s degree in nursing is a typical two-year program that qualifies graduates for
entry-level staff nurse positions. The degree was introduced to meet the shortfall in qualified nurses by
fast-tracking their training. Over time, the degree has become a popular choice for aspiring nurses. In
fact, many believe that registered nurses (RNs) who graduate from an Associate’s Degree in Nursing
program are better equipped to handle bedside patient care.
Average Annual Salary: $40,261 to $79,932 1 (depending on education, location, and experience)
2. Respiratory Therapy: Respiratory therapists (RTs) work under the direct supervision of physicians to
evaluate, treat, and care for patients with breathing or cardiopulmonary disorders. They often work in
emergency situations treating patients who range from prematurely born babies whose lungs are not fully
formed to older people facing lung problems. The minimum requirement for becoming a respiratory
therapist is a two-year associate’s degree in respiratory therapy. The program is offered at many colleges,
universities, and technical schools.
Average Annual Salary: $35,496 to $69,679 2 (depending on education, location, and experience)
3. Medical Assistant: Ranked as one of the fastest growing professions by the U.S. Department of
Labor, medical assistance comes under the umbrella of “allied health occupations” and involves providing
administrative, clerical, and clinical support to healthcare practitioners. Although there are no formal
training requirements for this job, it’s advisable to complete a two-year associate’s degree in fields like
medical specialties or allied health to stand out in the job market.
Average Annual Salary: $20,135 to $36,315 3 (depending on education, location, and experience)
4. Graphic Designer: If you have always enjoyed art class in school and the walls of your home are
adorned with the art pieces you have been drawing since childhood, graphic design is a great career
option for you. The profession will provide you an opportunity to turn your craft into cash. But having
talent, although very important, is not all that you need to become a graphic designer. A formal graphic
2. arts education is vital for not just breaking into this career, but also for further advancement. With a two-
year associate’s degree program in graphic arts, you can qualify for entry-level positions, and grow your
career from there.
Average Annual Salary: $23,541 to $58,565 4 (depending on education, location, and experience)
5. Computer Programmer: Computer programmers are the people who write the code that makes a
computer complete specific task. But they are responsible for not just writing this code, but also updating,
repairing, and modifying existing code. The job of a modern-day computer programmer is filled with
exciting possibilities like developing games or building mobile applications. Programming has certainly
undergone an overhaul from being the preserve of “geeks” to one of the coolest jobs to have. A two-year
associate’s degree in computer programming may qualify graduates for entry-level positions.
Average Annual Salary: $29,660 to $82,897 5 (depending on education, location, and experience)
